CHAPTER 4: RAID FUNCTIONS

4.1 O PERAT ION SYST EM
Supports Windows XP Home/Prof essional Edition, and Windows 2000 Professional.
4.2
RAID ARRAYS
RAID supports the following types of RAID arrays:

RAID 0: RAID 0 defines a disk striping scheme that improves disk read and write times for
many applications.
RAID 1: RAID 1 defines techniques for mirroring data.
4.3
HOW RAID WORKS
RAID 0:
The controller stripes data across multiple drives in a RAID 0 array system. It breaks
up a large file into smaller blocks and performs disk reads and writes across multiple
drives in parallel. The size of each block is determined by the stripe size parameter,
which you set during the creation of the RAID set based on the system environment. This
technique reduces overall disk access time and offers high bandwidth.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 1, and maximum is up to 6 or 8. Depending on the

platf orm.
Uses: Intended for non-critical data requiring high data throughput, or any
env ironment that does not require f ault tolerance.
Benefits: prov ides increased data throughput, especially f or large files. No
capacity loss penalty f or parity.
Drawbacks: Does not deliver any fault tolerance. If any drive in the array
f ails, all data is lost.
Fault Tolerance: No.
Block 1
Block 3
Block 5
Block 2
Bl ock 4
Bl ock 6
17
Motherboard Manual
RAID 1:
Every read and write is actually carried out in parallel across 2 disk drives in a RAID 1
array system. The mirrored (backup) copy of the data can reside on the same disk or on
a second redundant drive in the array. RAID 1 provides a hot-standby copy of data if
the active volume or drive is corrupted or becomes unavailable because of a hardware
failure.
RAID techniques can be applied for high-availability solutions, or as a form of
automatic backup that eliminates tedious manual backups to more expensive and less
reliable media.
Features and Benefits
Drives: Minimum 2, and maximum is 2.

Uses: RAID 1 is ideal for small databases or any other application that
requires f ault tolerance and minimal capacity.
Benefits: Prov ides 100% data redundancy. Should one driv e f ail, the
controller switches to the other drive.
Drawbacks: Requires 2 driv es for the storage space of one driv e.
Perf ormance is impaired during driv e rebuilds.
Fault Tolerance: Yes.

Auto-overclock button: User can click this button and
[WarpSpeeder] will set the best and stable performance and
frequency automatically. [WarpSpeeder] utility will execute a
series of testing until system fail. Then system will do fail-safe
reboot by using Watchdog function. After reboot, the
[WarpSpeeder] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialogs setting.
Verify button: User can click this button and [WarpSpeeder]
will proceed a testing for current frequency. If the testing is ok,
then the current frequency will be saved into system registry. If
the testing fail, system will do a fail-safe rebooting. After reboot,
the [WarpSpeeder] utility will restore to the hardware default
setting or load the verified best and stable frequency according
to the Recovery Dialogs setting.
Note:
Because the testing programs, invoked in Auto-overclock and Verify,
include DirectDraw, Direct3D and DirectShow tests, the DirectX 8.1 or
newer runtime library is required. And please make sure y our display
cards color depth is High color (16 bit) or True color( 24/32 bit ) that is
required f or Direct3D rendering.
5. Hardware Monitor Panel

In this panel, you can get model name and detail information in hints
of all the chipset that are related to overclocking. You can also get
the mainboards BIOS model and the Version number of
[WarpSpeeder] utility.
Note :
Because the overclock, overvoltage, and hardware monitor features
are controlled by several separate chipset, [WarpSpeeder] divide
these features to separate panels. If one chipset is not on board, the
correlative button in Main panel will be disabled, but will not interfere
other panels functions. This property can make [WarpSpeeder]
utility more robust.

7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed
of the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.
Figure 7: PnP/PCI Configurations
PNP OS Installed
When set to YES, BIOS will only initialize the PnP cards used for the boot sequence
(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system
like Window 95. When set to NO, BIOS will initialize all the PnP cards. For non-PnP
operating systems (DOS, Netware), this option must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
36

Reset Configuration Data
The system BIOS supports the PnP feature which requires the system to record which
resources are assigned and protects resources from conflict.
Every peripheral device has a node, which is called ESCD. This node records which
resources are assigned to it. The system needs to record and update ESCD to the memory
locations.
These locations (4K) are reserved in the system BIOS. If the Disabled
(default) option is chosen, the systems ESCD will update only when the new
configuration varies from the last one. If the Enabled option is chosen, the system is forced
to update ESCDs and then is automatically set to the Disabled mode.
The above settings will be shown on the screen only if Manual is chosen for the
resources controlled by function.
Legacy is the term, which signifies that a resource is assigned to the ISA Bus and provides
non-PnP ISA add-on cards. PCI / ISA PnP signifies that a resource is assigned to the PCI
Bus or provides for ISA PnP add-on cards and peripherals.
Resources Controlled By
By Choosing Auto(ESCD) (default), the system BIOS will detect the system resources
and automatically assign the relative IRQ and DMA channel for each peripheral. By
Choosing Manual, the user will need to assign IRQ & DMA for add-on cards. Be sure
that there are no IRQ/DMA and I/O port conflicts.
IRQ Resources
This submenu will allow you to assign each system interrupt a type, depending on the type
of device using the interrupt. When you press the Press Enter tag, you will be directed to
a submenu that will allow you to configure the system interrupts. This is only
configurable when Resources Controlled By is set to Manual.

PCI / VGA Palette Snoop
Choose Disabled or Enabled. Some graphic controllers which are not VGA compatible
take the output from a VGA controller and map it to their display as a way to provide boot
information and VGA compatibility.
However, the color information coming from the VGA controller is drawn from the palette
table inside the VGA controller to generate the proper colors, and the graphic controller
needs to know what is in the palette of the VGA controller. To do this, the non-VGA
graphic controller watches for the Write access to the VGA palette and registers the snoop
data. In PCI based systems, where the VGA controller is on the PCI bus and a non-VGA
graphic controller is on an ISA bus, the Write Access to the palette will not show up on the
ISA bus if the PCI VGA controller responds to the Write.
In this case, the PCI VGA controller should not respond to the Write, it should only snoop
the data and permit the access to be forwarded to the ISA bus. The non-VGA ISA
graphic controller can then snoop the data on the ISA bus. Unless you have the above
situation, you should disable this option.
Disabled (default)
Disables the function.
Enabled
Enables the function.

Special Notice:
If unfortunately, the systems frequency that you are selected is not
functioning, there are two methods of booting-up the system.
Method 1:
Clear the COMS data by setting the JCOMS1 ((2-3) closed)) as ON status.
All the CMOS data will be loaded as defaults setting.
Method 2:
Press the <Insert> key and Power button simultaneously, after that
keep-on pressing the <Insert> key until the power-on screen showed.
This action will boot-up the system according to FSB of the processor.
Its strongly recommended to set CPU Vcore and clock in default setting. If the CPU
Vcore and clock are not in default setting, it may cause CPU or M/B damage.
